In addition to a Cataclysmic Abyss premiere and team signing..Michael Davis of the legendary MC5
will be at Active Westwood tomorrow @ 8pm to sign and giveaway goods to celebrate the recent Foundation/MC5 Corey Duffel collaboration. The video starts at 7pm sharp! Be there or you are blowing it!
abdias went from San Diego to San Francisco to Arizona all within the past month or so. This was taken at Coreys house right before he headed out to Arizona for PHXAM.
Check out the Foundation Secret Beast decks and softgoods featured in the new SLAP.
And while youre at it..go look at the artists website, IMAKETHINGS.
I came across this interesting information in the newest issue of Transworld Business. Its kind of complicated on how they judge things like this. But whatever, Duffel is number 1.
I scanned in a orginal video so you could see how neat it looks. Notice the glare, yeah its the real dvd. The video website has a couple new updates. Including music credits, wallpapers, photo gallerys and more! Check back later for a contest involving all the hidden images in the video.

Because you web lurkers are not buying enough of his boards.
Scope Josh's Toy Ads right f-ing here.
Scope The Butcher too.
Below, I added the biggest photo of Diego in the canyon that I could for your screensaving pleasure.
Posted March 25th, 2007 by But do you know her in a biblical sense?
See the full size panoramic photo...
The Butcher will eat your children, or at least Johnny's Dog.
See a sick Sequence from Diego's upcoming Thrasher Interview!!!! Sneak peek.
And see Diego's Toy Ads in the ads section!
Posted March 23rd, 2007 by Diego can frontside flip your pathetic life
Last minute trips can always put a twinkle in your eye. You can forget about all the hard work and just have fun. Nothing beats loafing around with the dudes. Even Austin had fun... Or did he?
Lee Yankou stopped by today to show me the latest issue of SBC magazine. For all of you that dont know that mag its a Canadian mag. He's the latest recruit to the Foundation international team of schredders rocking the F.
One of are Foundation international team riders recently came up on the cover of the French version of Thrasher. You can watch a couple of clips of max in the friends section of Cataclysmic Abyss also.
Sierra went from the Globe contest to the Foundation SF trip and is now preparing to go to Arizona for a week or so. Busy man. See everybody at Phoenix Am.
Matt B. got weird with some kind of finger condom while Jett got busy on a kinker. Daryl Angel was there but there is no photo to prove it. Cole thought everything was hilarious.
Posted March 18th, 2007 by Break Barriers, Not Fences
We've been up in SF for a couple days now. Joe Brook let us raid the Thrasher and Slap warehouse. We all took advantage of that. Thanks again! Now we're just going to random spots with Joe shooting some photos here and there. The schedule is skate from 11 am to 1 am straight.
As in Josh and his wife Jenna Harmony. Yes! They have a music CD available from Toy Machine!
And yes, it is good.
I'm gonna try to get Kevin to post a song up on Suffer the Joy.com for you guys to listen to.
Posted March 17th, 2007 by Dont die wondering what your life amounted to
Started the day off hitting up this skate shop and the new Santa Cruz skate park. Had yet another BBQ with some new friends. Then we drove up the coast to Pacifica for a little indoor demo inside the Log Shop. Fun times had by all. We're done with the shop appearances and now street skating for the next couple of days.
We woke up in the best hotel ever then proceeded to watch the best ghost tv show ever. Made it to the demo on time(about a block away from the hotel). The guys signed a couple autographs then headed over to the local park for a demo and video screening. All went very well. Total epicness. i want to thank Mobleys and the skate park for having us. Everyone had a ton of fun. See you next time. Next up is a appearance in Santa Cruz around noon tomorrow then a demo in Santa Maria after that. We're deffiently not in the best hotel ever anymore...
Is what Josh, Austin, and Spanky said when they walked around the corner and saw a 10 foot tall photo of themselves looking right at them. It's at the Active store in Costa Mesa, right next to one of our favorite restaurants. So I had to embarrrass them more by shooting photos of them with the whole resaurant watching. And they mis-spelled Austin's last name!

After meeting with Ed on a Mother's Mission, he showed off his new game. He says it's harder with just socks on.
Oh yeah, Nick's got a little interview up on The Skateboard Industry. Scope it.
Foundation is on the road. We showed up a little late in Santa Maria but the demo/shop signing went off great. Thanks to One Way boardshop for a good time. We're in Atascadero right now in about the nicest hotel ever. Demo tomorrow about a quarter mile away from are hotel. Maybe we'll actually be on time.
This weekend was spent in the merry land of San Fran, on a spontaneous mission brought about by Johnny's intense yearning for a new shirt. We had a radical tour guide in the form of Chilen or if you're a Thrasher reader, The Jesus. Young Rob came along and ripped. Homies were dropping in on us left and right, even Bradford made an appearance. The trip was capped with an epic visit to Big Sur where some shadowy figure loomed over us. It turned out to be Austin, I mean Austin.

In that same ditch that the cop kicked us out of. Harmony crushed a lipslide, and even young Kevin, my filming minion got up in the mix with a 5-0 to fakie. Praise (diety of your choice)!!!
Posted March 10th, 2007 by Tony Bennett sang at Matt B's dad's wedding
After a stop at the Ruca ramp, Austin and Josh made their way to the HB park, where things were getting a little weird. Perhaps the highlight was Tosh showing up and ripping.
Posted March 8th, 2007 by You Haven't Been Skating Enough
Corey Duffel is the newest member of the Osiris Family. Let the madness begin! Corey brings original flavor to the brand with his unique approach to skating. He is well known for ripping spots and continues to crush everything in his path. When asked what made him decide to join Osiris, his response was simply, Buttery kicks and sick team. Basically, its tits. Corey is a welcomed addition to Osiris and we are looking forward to see what tricks he has up his sleeve. Kick out the jams Corey!
Quick trip up north for a couple demos and some street skating. Heres the scheduled stops.
March 13th - One Way Board Shop in Santa Maria, CA
March 14th - Mobley's in Atascadero, CA
March 15th - Log Shop in Pacifica, CA
The sun sets on Long Beach as the life of a great skateboarder and human being Shane Cross, comes to an end. Our thoughts go out to his friends and family and especially to Ali Boulala whose is currently in critical condition. Read here. (Fourth paragraph)
Flip rider Shane Cross died in a motorcycle accident yesterday. The 20-year-old was fatally injured while riding on the back of Ali Boulala's motorcycle in Australia. Ali survived the accident but is currently in critical condition.
Our hearts and best wishes go out to the friends and families of Shane and Ali.
Last night Ed lost it and tried to shove Ptah down the drain. Having a skateboard company like Toy Machine on your hands is a lot of work so a few breakdowns are expected. Good thing cool customer Keegan Sauder was there to talk him down. We could've had a disaster on our hands.
Posted March 6th, 2007 by Focus your thoughts to ALI B... (see comments)
Well, I'm glad you asked. The world famous Mark Appleyard was on the start of some international playboy journey that mixes skateboarding, with hot women, and sunny beaches...
And Matt Mumford, who I thought was about to kick my ass at any moment... just kidding. He was on a skate mission, and of course, since he is in his homeland, taking it easy with Mark.

Everybody pitched in to move the LAX Bump to Table across the sidewalk so Johnny could skate it. After braving some strong winds and cold drafts, we split and headed to a sweet uphil ledge. Coming home we took a scenic route and ended up on the bridge. Everbody kept their teeth.
Meanwhile Austin looks at sharks, and Ed and Deanna had yet another art show.
Duffel looking concered. He was probably thinking about the 12 people staying at his house this weekend. Abdias being one of them. Call me when you get a chance or answer you're emails Abdias.
